How your business can get ahead for 2023

Melissa O’Donnell • November 15, 2022

With 2023 fast approaching, and December typically being a quieter month for many B2B businesses, now is the best time to start thinking about a marketing strategy for the first quarter of 2023. Often the key to success is in the planning so keep reading to prepare your business for the new year.

Check your website

December is a great time to ensure you have your website in check, and ready to go into Q1. Often a refresh is required to ensure your portraying the desired message and image to your users. It’s a good time to check that any additional pages have been added to your website and that they are optimised on all devices. It’s also a great time to review your website’s SEO performance.

Align your goal for social media accounts.

If you post on various social media platforms, ensure your content is consistent throughout. Plan now for the new year about what content has worked well in the past 12 months and what hasn’t. Take the time to look at what competitors have been doing and where possible anticipate any trends that are looming that you can take advantage of.

Promote a referrals program.

If you don’t already offer this, starting a referral program is a great way to reward loyal customers and keep them satisfied. It also helps to draw in new customers. If this is something you already do, take a look at how you are promoting it and what other channels you could utilise to get the most from it. Don’t forget that referrals are a cost-effective way to promote your business and result in a higher conversion rate.

Set out your marketing goals

Marketing plans are as good as the data that informs them, so making sure you analyse your results and data that you’ve gathered over the year is critical for success. Create a strategy based upon the data and insights you have gained this year.

Setting your business up for success is easy if you know how. If you need any help creating a plan for the new year, get in touch, to speak with one of our strategists.

By Francesca Taylor • September 12, 2024

When we discuss web design or copywriting with a client, one of the questions Infoserve will always ask is: ‘what are your USPs?’ However, we have noticed that there has been some discourse online regarding the relevance of USPs in modern marketing, and whether they really hold as much value in 2024.

Contact pages are often overlooked by business owners and, at Infoserve , we believe the reason for this is because they seem like the least exciting page on a website.

E-Commerce in Summer: How to Convert Outside of the Fourth Quarter

By Francesca Taylor • August 15, 2024

This is for many reasons including the fact that Christmas is only celebrated within certain cultures, and the need for products doesn’t suddenly stop once January comes around. So, how do you ensure you’re reaching your customers outside of this peak selling period? Let’s take a look.
